This guide will walk you through the ‘Animus’ mission in SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs. Let’s get started!

The mission starts fast and enemies will attack you at once. There are enemies on balconies with snipers and those that are coming out of the town. Take cover, eliminate them, and then move in. You will see that more men are still coming down the street. Keep pushing forward and take cover if you have to. Take out all enemies you see until you reach a building at the end of the street. Look for the first intel datapad inside the building. It is located on a table to your left with a few weapons.

Get out of the building and cross the street. You will encounter armored enemies with shotguns coming down the steps. There are barriers in front of you and take the left side barrier for an ideal cover. Set up your team behind these barriers. The enemies might see you on your way out of the building so take cover behind it for protection until the armored shotgunners come up to you. Afterwards, clear the park of enemies and climb up the stairs where you will encounter one or two shotgunners. Be on alert while proceeding to a small area with tables at the top. They resemble the tables from the first mission and the second intel datapad is on one of these tables to your right.

After getting the intel, cross the bridge next to the patio. Take out the few soldiers you will find at the end of the street then walk into the parking garage. At each level, enemies are stationed in groups. Using grenades, take them out with your team before climbing up to the next level. The third and final intel datapad is on the third floor. Remember not to take cover behind cars unless they have been blown up already. Upon reaching the rooftop of the parking garage, air strikes is now available. At the West side of the rooftop is an ammo crate. Enemies will still attack you so proceed to the South Western corner of the roof where there is a stairway. Beware of snipers at the nearby building.

Your objective in this position is to destroy the convoy. You can use a BXM-500 sniper rifle near the way point and ammo crate. Be on the look out for snipers that will shoot you at the edge. Take them out before moving to the edge to laze the vehicles for the air strike. More vehicles with rockets will arrive Take cover behind the bigger parts of the wall and laze the vehicles as fast as you can. Snipers and more men will come out of the building and some will attack your position. Take them out with your team by staying behind the wall in front of the stairs.

From the parking garage, take the stairs to the streets. You will then see two cars to your left. To earn a trophy, blow up the car to your right. When you enter the building, a way point is set to activate a cut scene. Proceed to the next room where you will see a tarocco sticking out of a machine to your left. Go to the net way point to activate another cut scene. Your reticle will be placed on the boss during the scene. You have to decide if you will shoot him or let him live. Either decision will earn you separate trophy.
